Roosters?

[cottageblue]

I have 3 chickens that I am wondering if they are roosters. I would appreciate any help since I am not allowed to have roosters. Thanks!

The first two are male...

How old are they? I'm seeing two that definitely look like cockerels.

They still seem very young, so give it a bit more time if you can (look for saddle feather development, jostling with the others, fighting, prouder stance, etc.) but the first two do seem to have the larger comb. What breeds are they all, and how old?

The white is 9 weeks and the other two are 5 weeks. Which one do you suspect to be a hen? Thanks!

The white is a frizzle leghorn and the other two are australorp.

No problem. I think your first two are very likely boys then. The third picture I believe could possibly be a pullet, but it could also be a slow developing cockerel. Only time will tell. Cute chicks. Too bad your not allowed to have roos.

I agree, but I would say give 'em a bit of a chance if you're able to. lol I've had some cockerel-looking chickens (albeit rarely) that ended up laying eggs.

Thank you for the help! I will give them some more time and hope for the best!

Fingers crossed for you to have some cockerel-esqe pullets! lol Did you buy them sexed as pullets?
